Description

It's less than six months after the events of Got and the still-nameless narrator has vanished off the Brooklyn grid to end up in Atlanta, where he now lives with his ambitious but somewhat dim-witted cousin Durante. Flush with cash, he has enrolled in an Atlanta college, transferred his credits and is doing his best to live a normal life. But when he meets Jennifer, a dark-skinned beauty putting herself through school via small-time dealing, he inadvertently sets off a series of events that once again sandwich him between the worlds of light and dark.
